Free seminar on tracing colonial Revolutionary ancestors

Ever thought about joining one of the heritage or lineage societies such as the Sons of the American Revolution, Daughters of the American Revolution, the Colonial Dames or Society of Colonial Wars? For some, membership in a hereditary lineage society is a primary goal. However, for many, becoming a member of such a society is only a step in their research.

The local chapters of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution are giving a free seminar on genealogy, researching one's ancestors, and the process of becoming a member in either the SAR or the DAR at the Worcester Public Library, 3 Salem Square, on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2-5 p.m. Genealogists will answer questions from applicants and potential applicants.

If you have any specific questions on your research, e-mail them in advance to genealogy@massar.org. All are welcome to attend. Library phone: 508-799-1655.
